A sensible electric bike for sensible riders, the freshly redesigned Rad Power Bikes RadCity 5 Plus is a Dutch-inspired e-bike that’s thoughtfully designed to cart you and the things you need for the day safely and efficiently.
In this Rad Power Bikes RadCity 5 Plus review, we take a look at how well this bike functions in the real world, putting it through a gauntlet of tests including a range test, hill test, braking test and more.
Rad re-released the RadCity in September 2021, giving the bike a new look, new motor and a refreshed battery design that looks slimmer and claims to stretch the battery range. The bike is modeled after the wildly popular (in Europe) Dutch-style commuter bike that boasts an upright riding position, relaxed styling and wonderfully balanced handling. They started with that design, added a nicely tuned 750W rear hub motor and decked the bike with affordable but good componentry.
The result is one remarkably nice electric commuter bike that won’t break the bank but will do just about anything you ask of it.
*Rad now just sells the Step-Through model of the RadCity 5. Check out that review here.
